"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
, the days when I was a spiritual mentor in Meiman
A British folk song came from the counter of a dimly lit bar, accompanied by the soft bang of the tape "Zilla", the music was interrupted, one hand was pressed on the radio, and the long-haired bartender clapped The somewhat unreliable radio shook his head helplessly.
The bell of the customer on the bar called him over. As soon as he turned around, he saw a blond man lying drunk in front of the table. The bartender sighed helplessly, stepped forward and pushed the man over his shoulder and said, "Mr. Constantine, are you all right?"
"The radio...why doesn't it ring?" Constantine said vaguely, the bartender took a glass from the shelf, wiped it and said, "The old radio was left by the boss's father, It's so old that it breaks often."
Konstantin didn't look up, but slowly raised one hand. The bartender saw that his fingers were illuminated by the light, with well-defined bones, which looked slender and elegant, which was somewhat different from his decadent temperament.
He snapped his fingers lightly, and with a "click", a series of sparks exploded from the radio, and then the music started again.
The bartender was taken aback, he took two steps back slightly, but it was not because of this miraculous phenomenon, Constantine is a frequent visitor here, and everyone here knows that this decadent man has some special powers .
The bartender put the wiped glass on the bar, and he asked, "Is it still the same?"
"Yes, and an extra glass of **** juice."
"Ginger juice?" After hearing this word, the bartender showed a embarrassed expression, and he said, "You mean the kind of medicine used to treat colds? But we only have wine here..."
"Give me a cup."
Konstantin finally straightened up from the bar counter, he covered his head, the dizziness brought by the euphoria of the drug had not dissipated, his vision was a little hazy, and he saw a glass cup reflecting the shining light being put On the bar, he gently pointed with his finger, and it was filled with **** juice.
Just after he finished all this, a black figure appeared in the shadow of the corner of the bar. Constantine didn't look back, he just moved his body to the side, as if he was leaving a place for someone.
The black figure came up. He was wearing a black armor, a black cloak on the back, and two pointed ears on his head. Constantine leaned on his head with his hands, turned his head to look at him and said: "If I design a uniform, I will definitely choose to expose my chin, otherwise I won't be able to drink...cough cough..."
Batman picked up the cup, he already smelled the strong smell of ginger, Constantine looked at his expression, chuckled and said: "Don't you like to use **** juice instead of wine? Don't plan to take a sip Is it?"
Batman put down the wine glass again, and Constantine went to take the glass of real wine handed over by the bartender. After taking a sip, he gritted his teeth, as if he had been frozen, and said, "...it's amazing Ah, I've never had a drink as cold as the Gotham bar anywhere else..."
"Do you have any secrets?" Constantine asked the bartender.
"Gotham's cold chain is very famous now." The bartender continued to wipe his glass and said: "At the beginning of this year, four large-scale ice-making factories were established, and the quality of our ice cubes is very high. Well, not only is the temperature very low, but it is also not easy to melt."
Constantine took another sip of his wine, Batman looked at him, Constantine shook his head, and said, "I know what you want to ask, magic...magic..."
As if he was drunk, he turned his head to the side again, leaned on his arm, and said, "You have been following me for the past few days just to get an answer from me, but I told you Come on, kid, don't think about resurrecting anyone with magic..."
Batman was still staring at him silently, and Constantine said like a prophet: "I know, people like you are like this, if you don't understand the principle, you won't completely deny the possibility of something .”
"However, in the process of figuring out the principle, you have to pay a lot more than you think."
Konstantin picked up the wine glass but didn't drink it, but pressed the wine glass to his face, as if the coldness could make his brain clearer, he said: "I used to be like you, yes These things are full of curiosity, and I think, if I haven't really pursued it, how can I know that it is not my way out?"
"But this is magic. It seduces you to explore and verify, and then makes you lose everything in the process. Finally, you find that the process of losing everything is magic itself."
"This is not an equivalent exchange." Constantine shook his head, and continued: "It's not that you can resurrect someone by paying something, but that you have lost everything in the process of resurrecting someone."
The British folk tune kept playing, and Batman's hand holding the glass looked younger. Although his figure had grown to look like an adult, it could be seen from the knuckles of his fingers that he was still a teenager.
Seeing his hand, Constantine recalled his former self, the young, immature and healthy self, like a oak tree.
He thought, fortunately, he met the young Batman at this time, if the two people's ages were swapped, or they met each other at the same age, it would really cause a big mess.
The first time Batman was in a Gotham bar for so long, that ditty kept playing in his head, reminding him of the English countryside, he couldn't remember when, also at Alfred's I have heard such a ditty in my mouth.
When the old butler's face appeared in front of Batman's eyes, he stood up from the chair at the bar, put down his wine glass, and turned to leave.
On the way back to Wayne Manor, Batman keenly felt that this winter was extremely cold, so much so that when he saw the familiar buildings of Wayne Manor, he actually felt a little warmth from his heart.
However, when Batman opened the door of his house, he seemed a little extra cautious. Even when he passed through the courtyard, he didn't have his usual posture of coming and going like the wind. Instead, he walked lightly and slowly. go inside.
When he came to the stairs of the manor, Batman took a look at the hook rope fixed on his hand. In the past, he would directly launch the hook rope to the balcony, then jump up onto the balcony and return to the room.
But he chose to take the stairs.
It is actually very difficult to expect Batman to walk the stairs well, because he is always very good at using various methods to appear in various places where he should not appear, no matter where Is there a way up.
Therefore, when he was walking up the stairs quite cautiously, he didn't notice that some of the old stair railings in Wayne Manor had become loose. When he reached a step, he instinctively held the handrail of the stairs, and then, the wooden handrail made an extremely slight "squeak" sound under his hand.
Batman's heart skipped a beat suddenly, he turned his head quickly, and sure enough, he saw a small black figure rushing like the wind from the end of the corridor on the second floor.
It was a little girl with black hair and blue eyes, who looked very similar to him. She was wearing pajamas at this time, rubbing her eyes in confusion, and then looked at him in the dark night with those shimmering eyes. batman.
It stands to reason that in this scene, Batman's first move should be to reach out and touch the bat dart at his waist, and then immediately turn on the night vision device to gain a visual advantage.
But this time, his first move was to stretch out one hand, hold down the other four fingers, leaving only one index finger, and then put it by his mouth, and compared it to the little girl. A "shh" gesture.
The little girl frowned, sniffed her nose vigorously, showing a somewhat puzzled expression, then she ran up the stairs "thump-thump-thump", came to Batman's side, and took another two deep breaths.
Batman shook his head at her, and just as he reached out to cover her mouth, the little girl opened her mouth full of fangs and let out an earth-shattering "Wow!
!
!
”
In an instant, Wayne Manor was brightly lit.
A few minutes later, Batman holding Aisha appeared on the sofa in the hall of the manor. Aisha was biting Batman's wristband with her fangs. Batman faced Alfred with a straight face. Red said, "No, I didn't drink."
The old butler set his eyes on Aisha. Aisha, who can't understand human speech very well, seemed to suddenly awaken infinite wisdom. She let go of her mouth and jumped to the other side of the sofa. On the one hand, bouncing on the sofa, while pointing at Batman, non-stop "wow wow wow".
Dick walked upstairs with his eyes closed, and staggered down the stairs while holding on to the handrail, obviously sleepy.
After walking down, he stretched and yawned. Alfred walked over and patted him on the back, and then said to him: "Go back to sleep, master, there will be nothing more The sound is disturbing you."
Dick closed his eyes, but he shook his head, then walked to Batman's side, took his arm and said, "You're not going to that place again, are you?"
"I didn't." Batman immediately denied it, but Aisha continued to raise her voice and kept screaming. Batman walked over helplessly and picked her up. Dick rubbed his eyes and said: " Aisha said you smelled of alcohol, did you go to the bar?"
Batman was silent and didn't speak. He looked down at Aisha, but Aisha still could only scream with unknown meaning.
Batman glanced at Aisha, then at Dick, and then at Alfred who had been staring at him~IndoMTL.com~He wondered if the three people had any secret words that could be used to communicate , he didn't hear any syllables that could be analyzed from Aisha's scream.
Aisha struggled hard again and jumped out of Batman's arms, then ran to Alfred's side, grabbed his trouser legs, and pointed at Batman's non-stop "Wow wow wow".
After Alfred picked her up, she stopped screaming immediately. Alfred hugged Aisha and said to Batman: "Master, although you are the father of two children now, but In fact, you are not yet an adult."
"Always going to places that are not conducive to the physical and mental health of minors, I am afraid it will be difficult to set an example for the two children."
I don't know if it was Batman's hallucination, but he felt that he heard murderous intent from Alfred's tone, and he heard the old butler say:
"I don't know how that scumbag from London called Constantine seduced you, but I hope that in the few time he has, he will stop discrediting his hometown .”
"Otherwise, as his fellow countryman, I think it is necessary for me to teach him etiquette as a gentleman."
At this time, Konstantin, who was still drunk in the bar, felt a bone-chilling chill behind him for some reason. He shivered violently, sensed the surrounding situation, But no danger was found.
This kind of coldness follows everywhere, but he doesn't know the source. Constantine turned his head helplessly. Suddenly, he saw the glass of **** juice conjured up by him. And do.
The pungentness finally made him feel warm. He coughed hard twice, sneezed again, and broke out in a cold sweat.
